  2. san andreas on Getting the Girl · · Score: 1

    all i know is i'm glad they added blonde hookers with pigtails and plaid skirts.

  3. san andreas on Too Much Gaming, Anyone? · · Score: 1

    yep.

    the other day, after an 8 hour GTA4 session, i was stopped behind a car at a stop light and for a second, thought about passing him, running the red light, running over the pedestrian at the next intersection and stealing his money.

    seriously.

  7. Re:PTC on Lone Activist Group Submits 99.8% of FCC Complaints · · Score: 1

    yes.
    in fact, last month ABC showed saving private ryan uncut/unedited in most regions. my friends living an hour away saw it, though the detroit affiliate, and many others, cowed to the pressure of this group.
    that evening, i heard a story about it all things considered in which they interviewed a rep. from this organization. he outright stated that they put this link on their site for that reason and that there were thousands of member waiting to click it and complain as soon as the show was aired.

    i'd gladly sell my expensive detroit suburb house and move to west virginia for this. in a minute.

  9. one word on How Do You Handle Home Media? · · Score: 1

    mythtv.

    this is easily one of the greatest open source projects ever. easy setup, incredible documentation, insanely stable....the only time i've had to shut the box down was to add a dvd drive. if you add the extra components, you get a dvd player, an ok mp3 player, weather, news feeds a total media package.

  10. Re:AT&T's idea of a network on Cingular-AT&T Wireless Merger Complete · · Score: 1

  14. we're not the example to follow on UK Record Industry Sues 'Major Filesharers' · · Score: 2, Funny

    hello i am an amerikan. just to let you know, we're not the moral compass of the world. do not follow our lead. in fact, many times, you can apply the "costanza method" and do the opposite of what our instinct is. thank you for your time

  15. thinkpad + beer on Rehabilitating Damaged Laptops · · Score: 1

    i dumped about a half a pint of pale ale over my thinkpad about a month ago--me, wife, and dog in a small room trying to unpack a large fouton frame. i have to give it to ibm, the keyboard basically works as a spill tray and hardly any beer made it through to the system board. at any rate 10.52 on ebay got me a replacement keyboard and a little isopropanol and it's back from the dead.
